Dear all;
Enclosed a Conopidae from spanish mountains (Portugal border, ~ 600m, beginning of August)
In my search I was focusing for characteristic white spots on Abdomen and Thorax but found nothing ..
Maybe a Conops spec?
There is very few Bombus around, so probably host is Vespa spec or any Orthoptera...
Could someone give hints?
Thanks for help;
Norbert.

Physocephala female - one of the taxonomicall very difficult species even if you would have the specimen at hand.
